No credit for sinking a VW Class Destroyer....a bug?
 

I sank an enemy destroyer and watched it sink and i got no credit for it. I didnt receive the *Target Destroyed* message either. Usually the captains log shows all ships sunk and didnt see it there either. It wasnt a friendly or neutral ship. Is there a known bug for this?

One question what are you playing? GWX 2.1 or stock SH3 1.4?

IN SH3 1.4:
It's pretty easy to sink any type of ship in stock. Even in shallow water.

IN GWX 2.1:
Is it in shallow water? It is really annoying if you sunk a destroyer in shallow water.:damn:

Because, even though the bow is sunk, the stern is still sticking out of the water.:damn:

Maybe you should damage it more along the waterline to really sink it.:shifty:

I hope this helps.:up:

Anyone have other ideas for this topic? I just sunk two ships with my deck gun and got no credit / no message after either sinking.

Both were with the Deck Gun. I used a weather mod several days ago to get the rain to finally quit.

I am playing stock 1.4 (other than the weather mod). The game still registers when I sink ships with torpedoes.

Thank you for any help.

I'm playing GWX 2.1.
Chalk it up to Bdu not giving you credit for the sinking. :p

I hit a Empire class freighter, surfaced, and watched it sink in deep water(1000+ meters) and never got the "She's going down!" message, no icon on the map, and no entry in the captain's log. That's 6000 tons I didn't get credit for. :damn:
Oh well. :sunny:
I'm sure that happened more than once in real life.

I don't know what in the game causes this though. the computer missed some byte of information in the game and caused it, I don't know, but that's life.
:)

Yes a VW (Volkswagon) class is also known as a bug!:yep:

An interrmitent fault with the game engine that nobody thus far has managed to fix I'm afraid.
